Abstract

Calcaneal spur (CS), which is one of the most common causes of heel pain and can cause life-limiting discomfort, is quite common throughout the whole population. CS is fibro-cartilaginous protrusions of various sizes in the calcaneal bone. There are many causes in the etiology of CS. The investigated causes generally focused on physical factors, and studies on metabolic parameters are rare. This study investigated the blood parameters of patients with plantar calcaneal spur.

Özet

ÖZET: Topuk ağrısının en sık nedenlerinden biri olan ve yaşamı sınırlayan rahatsızlıklara neden olabilen kalkaneal spur (KS), toplumun tamamında oldukça yaygındır. KS; kalkaneal kemikte çeşitli boyutlarda fibro-kıkırdaklı çıkıntılardır. KS etiyolojisinde birçok neden bulunmaktadır. Araştırılan nedenler genellikle fiziksel faktörlere odaklanmaktadır ve metabolik parametrelere ilişkin çalışmalar nadirdir. Bu çalışmada plantar kalkaneal spurlu bir grup hastanın kan parametreleri araştırıldı.
